Newcastle’s favourite adopted Melburnian JAMIE HAY has been dedicated to music for a vast portion of his life.  From house shows, to huge festivals, international tours and regional youth centres, Jamie Hay has seen it all. Now the Conation/A Death In The Family/Fear Like Us vocalist opens a new chapter, with debut solo album KING OF THE SUN  and a video to accompany it.
 
King of the Sun was recorded in the midst of a Tasmanian winter with friend and fellow performer Lincoln Le Fevre. A swag of friends were invited to contribute, including Matt Bodiam (A Death in the Family), Adrian Lombardi (Blueline Medic), Carl Burnett (Arrows) and Liam White (The Scandal). King of the Sun is family affair, a community of friends chipping in, the kind of community Hay was borne out of. The release of this album has a similar philosophy; tiny Adelaide label Hobbledehoy Records (who released the Thieves7”) will present the album with all due love and dedication.
